- a. Using this equation, find the prediction equation relating selling price and age, separately for U.S. and foreign cars.
- b. Predict by how much the price changes for a one year increase in the age of the car. Does this apply for both types of cars? Explain.
- c. Find the predicted price of a (i) U.S. and (ii) foreign car that is eight years old. Show how the difference between them relates to a parameter estimate for the model.

an you tell how old a lobster is by its size? This question was investigated by the authors of a paper that appeared in the Biological Bulletin (August 2007). Researchers measured carapace (the exterior shell) length of 27 laboratory-raised lobsters of known age. The data on x = carapace length (in mm) and y = age (in years) in the following table were read from a graph that appeared in the paper.

Measuring the height of a California redwood tree is very difficult because these trees grow to heights of over 300 feet. People familiar with these trees understand that the height of a California redwood tree is related to other characteristics of the tree, including the diameter of the tree at the breast height of a person. The data in the table represent the height (in feet) and diameter (in inches) at the breast height of a person for a sample of 21 California redwood trees.
Assuming a linear relationship, use the least- squares method to compute the regression coefficients b0 and b1. State the regression equation that predicts the height of a tree based on the tree’s diameter at breast height of a person.
Interpret the meaning of the slope in this equation.
Predict the mean height for a tree that has a breast height diameter of 25 inches.

A medical statistician wanted to examine the relationship between the amount of sunshine (x) and incidence of skin cancer (y). As an experiment he found the number of skin cancers detected per 100,000 of population and the average daily sunshine in eight counties around the country. These data are shown below.Draw a scatter plot of the data and comment on the relationship between the 2 variables, predicting what the skin cancer rate might be for 10 hours of daily sunshine.
